2. In a saucepan, pour a sheet of extra virgin olive oil and heat. Add the vegetables, lightly salt and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Being vigilant so that they do not pass us by point or burn.
3. Season the meat to taste and add it to the casserole. We brown it over high heat.
4. We pour the wine and continue cooking for a couple of minutes, so that the alcohol evaporates. Then we add the water. We mix everything, cover and let cook 45 minutes, over low heat.
5. A little before this time is up, peel the potatoes and dice them. A good trick is to escape them with the help of the knife, in this way they will later release more starch during cooking.
6. We add them to the casserole, mix and cook another 15 minutes with the pot covered. Each potato has a different hardness, so we will cook until the potatoes are done. We take the opportunity to taste the broth and rectify salt if necessary.
7. If we want to thicken the sauce, we can take out a couple of the cooked potatoes, mash them with the fork and return them to the stew. In this way we will ensure that the broth is thicker and more bound.
8. We turn off the heat, let it rest for a couple of minutes and serve hot on the table.

As I have already mentioned, do not forget a delicious bun bread to dip in the sauce.
